Beautiful, beautiful words

1) Laura Barton's latest Hail, Hail Rock'n'Roll, on Sunday morning music. As elegant and warm and as rich as ever, and with this arresting phrase:

"all big brass beds, dirty clothes, clean hands and cake."

2) The ICAN charity has a good wheeze going, in which you nominate your favourite word(s), and if enough people do so, BT will give them some cash. ICAN is a charity that 'helps children communicate'. The project is called Wall of Words. Only one other person shares my favourite, refulgent. Go and submit. And if you like that, then Wordie is also available for you.
